Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Mademoiselle #5 ($30) is a medium, gently shimmery pink that is going to work for almost any occasion. Coco Chanel was frequently called “Mademoiselle.” The word, which in French denotes “Miss” (an unmarried woman), was appropriate for Coco who remained single throughout her life. According to her, “I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.” Mademoiselle is appropriately numbered “Number Five”— linking Coco Chanel’s name with the number of her iconic perfume.

Mademoiselle’s pleasant pink tone has enough opacity and life to provide an appropriate emphasis on the lips without overwhelming. It’s for those quieter times when one wants to look polished, but perhaps not want to make an overwhelming lip statement. Like many of the Rouge Coco shades, it has the very easy, lightweight and moisturizing formula.

This shade is so universal, I’m sure that it’s going to wear easily with almost everything.
